issues setting up traefik with kubernetes using a simple container

Question

Not sure what I am missing, trying to set up a simple traefik environment with kubernetes proxying the errm/cheese:cheddar docker container to cheddar.minikube

Prerequisite:

• have minikube setup

git clone # personal repo that is now deleted. see solution below

# setup.sh will delete current minikube environment then recreate it
./setup.sh

# add IP to minikube
echo `minikube ip` cheddar.minikube | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Answer 1

after running

minikube delete
minikube start

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v2.9/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-definition-v1.yml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v2.9/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-rbac.yml

kubectl apply -f traefik-deployment.yaml -f traefik-whoami.yaml

I was able to get a simple container working with traefik in kubernetes at:

echo `minikube ip`/notls
